From Prince William county items
in the Alexandria (Va.) Gazette, we
clip the following, which doubtless
refers to Mr.. Francis Hooff, formerly
of this county:
Mr.. Hooff, of West Virginia, who
moved on the old Chichester"
farm, near Nokesville, about two
years ago, has undertaken new
thing for that ncighborhood in the
raising of cabbage, &c. He has an
acre or more, 1000 to the acre, and
expects to realize a handsome profit
if he Is successful in raising them.
He expects to ship them either TO
Washington or Philadelphia.

The Beginning of the End.

Tie beginning of disease is a slight debility
stomach, the liver or the bowels usually
There are dyspeptic symptoms, the liver is
troublesome, the skin grows tawncy and I'M
healthy looking. there are pains in the right
side or through the right shoulder blade. The
climax is often an utter prostration of the
physical energies, perhaps a fatal issue. But
if the difficulty is met in time with Hostctter's
Stomach Bittcrs, which is always effective as a
remedy. aud it should he rcsOrted to ut an early
stage, there will be no reason to apprchend
those injurious subsequent effects upon the
system often cntaicd by entirely cured dis
cases. Far better isit, also, to employ this safe
malarial complaints, than quininc and other
potent drugs, which. even when they do prove
cffcctual for u time, ruin the stumach and i'm
pair the general health.
